I have finally completed the transcription of the Will of Wistan Browne of

Anthony Browne whose Will I recently transcribed. I give the summary of his

in square brackets. How many Wills names their male ancestors up to
gr-grandfather? If anybody wants the whole lot, let me know — it is longer than that

Many thanks, Adrian, for having taken the time to transcribe and then
share that. It is an amazing genealogical document. Wouldn't it be
good if all wills were as detailed and informative!

Cheers, Michael

Adrian I'm not sure about your connecting "brother Henry Capell" as
the spouse of Mary d of Sir Anthony Browne of Cowdrey.

I agree that Mary Browne married *some* Henry Capell, but I suggest it
was someone else.

Henry Capell, the one you mentioned, was born in 1537 and died in
1588. His first wife was Katherine Manners, dau of Thomas Manners the
Earl of Rutland by his wife Eleanor Paston.

This Henry however, also had an uncle, also Henry Capell, who died in
1558 and who also held the Manor of Hadham.

This older Henry might be a better match for Mary Browne.
